Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Stretching Exercises

Video Details: This video clip walks you through different types of stretches for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). A regular stretching regime to keep muscles and tendons supple should be part of a daily routine in order to help prevent the development of contractures. Contractures are a tightening of the muscle and tendons, which limit the full range of movement in a joint. This tightness occurs because not all muscles lose strength at the same time or pace, and people with DMD develop irregular postures to compensate for this uneven weakness.
